the poker puzzle is a book that gives you theory, but then asks you questions to answer and exercises to complete about the theory. it forces you to think about situations and spots and different player types. it is designed for you to actively learn the concepts - and i think that this is one of the strongest points (if not the strongest) of Improva's book - you learn by actually thinking through situations.. so that when they come up in the real world you are prepared for them. it is one thing to read a concept and say 'yep, i get that' but it is something else to integrate these concepts into your game and apply them correctly
so i think both books are excellent for theory. the poker puzzle goes one step further, however. that being said, if you don't take the time to do the work that is asked of you in the poker puzzle (all the questions and exercises), easy game is probably the better choice in ebooks.
